EnglishOxadiazoles are a class of heterocyclic aromatic chemical compounds, having different isomeric forms. They appear in a variety of pharmaceutical drugs. Among the drugs based on the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, we find for instance an antiviral such as Raltegravir, which is used to treat HIV/AIDS. Here we will discuss Raltegravir and in-silico simulations concerning SARS-COV-2. Besides the compounds based on 1,3,4 rings, there exist those with 1,2,4-oxadiazole rings which are reported as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. One of these drugs is Oxolamine. Of this drug we will stress the fact that it is an inhibitor of the formation of N-acetylneuraminic acid, a sialic acid. In fact, the spike-protein from SARS-COV-2 is shown to bind sialic acids too. Since these acids have, at the same time, an antiviral protective role, it could be relevant to investigate carefully any ligand/protein docking property of Oxolamine (docking with human enzymes, virus enzymes and proteins). Based on the 1,2,4-oxadiazole scaffold, we have also the antiviral Pleconaril, that has been investigated by means of in-silico simulated interactions with SARS-COV-2 proteins. We will discuss also some news oxadiazole compounds, which are given as selective COX-2 inhibitors, antioxidant agents and inhibitors of proteins of the virus, according to in-silico simulations. Therefore, can these drugs have a possible role in the treatment of Covid-19? Or, why can't they be used for?

| Abstract: | Oxadiazoles are a class of heterocyclic aromatic chemical compounds, having different isomeric forms. They appear in a variety of pharmaceutical drugs. Among the drugs based on the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, we find for instance an antiviral such as Raltegravir, which is used to treat HIV/AIDS. Here we will discuss Raltegravir and in-silico simulations concerning SARS-COV-2. Besides the compounds based on 1,3,4 rings, there exist those with 1,2,4-oxadiazole rings which are reported as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. One of these drugs is Oxolamine. Of this drug we will stress the fact that it is an inhibitor of the formation of N-acetylneuraminic acid, a sialic acid. In fact, the spike-protein from SARS-COV-2 is shown to bind sialic acids too. Since these acids have, at the same time, an antiviral protective role, it could be relevant to investigate carefully any ligand/protein docking property of Oxolamine (docking with human enzymes, virus enzymes and proteins). Based on the 1,2,4-oxadiazole scaffold, we have also the antiviral Pleconaril, that has been investigated by means of in-silico simulated interactions with SARS-COV-2 proteins. We will discuss also some news oxadiazole compounds, which are given as selective COX-2 inhibitors, antioxidant agents and inhibitors of proteins of the virus, according to in-silico simulations. Therefore, can these drugs have a possible role in the treatment of Covid-19? Or, why can't they be used for? |
